The Berlin commanders sent a new note to Soviet Gen. Vassily Chuikov declaring they wanted the fliers punished, the wounded recompensed and the plane dam age paid for. IN THE NEW communication, the Allies told Chuikov they have proof the airliner was proceeding properly on its flight from Fank furt to Berlin Tuesday and that two jet fighters fired on it, wound ing two passengers. They called the incident a violation of civi lized behavior. The note observed that a Soviet deputy official had tried to main tain that the airliner was off course and that only warning shots were fired by the fighters. This is the version the Russians made public late Tuesday night in a note to the French. The Al lies said this account was simply untrue and they demanded that Chuikov proceed with an inquiry within his own air force. Chuikov is commander-in-chief of Russian forces in Germany. The American, French and British commandants informed Chuikov they were acting for their high commissions. THE NOTE WAS signed by Maj. Gen. C. F. Coeman, British commandant who is chairman of the Allied Command in Berlin for the month of April. Despite their attitude, the Rus sians appeared somewhat con cerned by the cannon and ma chlnegun attack which wounded two German passengers, nicked two French crewmen and barely failed to shoot the ship down in flames. The Soviets grounded their fighter craft at all but one airfield m the East zone, despite Derfect flying weather. They notified the Four-Power air safety center that jet fighters maneuvered during the day only over the Koethen field. They us ually have squadrons operating irom six to eight bases.

Results Normal- Both Sides Win By ASSOCIATED PRESS The presidential panorama Thursday: Some Republicans dis puted the meaning of the Massa chusetts vote, some Democrats talked of a "draft" and most nomination-seekers got set for a television show. Conflicting inferences were drawn from Tuesday's Massachu setts election by supporters of the front-running rivals for Republi can nomination Sen. Taft of Ohio and Gen. Eisenhower. NEAR-COMPLETE returns show Eisenhower got 69 per cent of the Republican vote in the popularity poll, and 27 of the 28 nominating convention delegates posts at stake. Thus, with 604 votes needed to nominate, the Associated Press compilation of delegate strength based on concessions, pledges, in structions and statements shows: Taft 274, Eisenhofed 270. Taft forces claim more than 300. In Washington Sen. Saltonstall, (R-Mass), an Eisenhower parti san, called the primary a "great groundswell." He said the general would get at least 34 of Massa chusetts' total 38 delegates. A Taft man, Sen. Young of North Dakota, brushed this aside. Voting in the West and Mid west, he said, will tell a different and "more favorable" to Taft story. Taft attributed the outcome to Democrats who voted as "Repub licans for one day only." In Pans. Eisenhower's comment was: 'overwhelming it has begun to look sort of serious." Democratic leaders, meanwhile, talked of a new movement to draft Gov. Stevenson of Illinois for the nomination. Stevenson, in Oregon Thursday, was still trying to convince the skeptical that he is not a candi date. , Portland reporters asked him if he, would accept a draft. He re. plied-"I don't believe there is any such thing as a draft I have said I won't be running for president while I'm running for re-election as Governor of Illinois." in , Washington, a move was underway-backed by some party leaders skilled in convention ma' neuvering not to take Stevenson at his latest word. This group was described as being opposed to Sen. Kefauver of Tennessee, tops so far in dele gate strength, and at least indif ferent to the other avowed as pirants; Sen. Russell of Georgia, Sen. Kerr of Oklahoma and Mu tual Security Director W. Averell Harriman. IN CINCINNATI Thursday night most candidates for presi dential nomination go before ABC television cameras in a nation wide program sponsored by the League of Women Voters. About the only exceptions: Rus sell and Taft, who said they had other commitments. Paul Hoff. man was invited to represent Eis enhower, in Europe as Allied De fense Chief until about June 1 Missouri Republicans hold four district conventions Thursday to choose eight more convention del- all six to be picked in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Planes, Guns Strike Enemy Russian MIG Hit In May Day Battle By WILLIAM C. BARNARD Aiiodil.d rriu SUlf Writer SEOUL, Korea P) United Nations forces hit the Communists in Korea with artillery, planes and naval guns on this May Day. One Russian made MIG IS jet was damaged in a 15 minute aerial duel between 31 Sabre jets and 20 MIGs over. North Korea. Big guns blazed along the West ern front in an explosive duel, and rattled the Allied truce base at Munsan. AT THE OTHER end of the 159 mile front, the Battleship Iowa blasted Red artillery positions 16 miles inland with her 16 inch guns. Her round-the-clock bombard ment was supported by the De stroyer Bole. The U.S. Destroyer Fox dueled with Red shore batteries Wednes day. The Navy said the Fox scor ed several direct hits with 200 rounds, but the closest the Reds could come was 200 yards from the Fox. The Fifth Air Force sent Its planes out in force in the May Day sunshine and added up its total for April. . It reported Allied pilots shot down 41 Russian-type MIG-15 jets during the month, probably destroyed nine and damaged 44. Thirty-eight Allied planes were lost from all causes. THE U.S. Eighth Army report ed its ground forces inflicted 2,116 casualties between pril 22 and 28. That is average ior the twi light war.

JFZS&ZS&ff I Corner 10th ts Chsrnelton Phone 5-1S61 2 Hrs Free Parking Every Day for 163 Years Congress Passes a Law WASHINGTON (P) Every day for the past 183 years, Con gress has passed at least one new law. On the average, It hasn't even taken time off for Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. In all, 70,124 laws have been written into the statute books between March 4, 1789, and Jan. 3, 1952 roughly 430 a year. That interesting bit of Information startling, no doubt, to those doubters of congressional diligence was laid before his colleagues Wednesday by Rep. Mack (R-Wash). He got It from the Library of Congress' legislative reference service at the request of a constituent. Moro than half this legal gold mine 39,073 were private bills, dealing largely with the relief of specific Individuals. But the 31,052 public laws those of broader application still aver age out at better than one every other day. The nation's first lawmakers, Mack said, apparently didn't get into the swing of things. Tho first Congress (1789-1791) passed only 94 laws. The next one passed only 64. Not until the days af Abraham Lincoln did a single Congress pass more than 200 laws in a two-year session. By contrast, the 81st Congress (1049-1950) rolled through ' 2,024 public and private bills for Fresident Truman's signature. American Travel Abroad Curtailed By EDWARD E. BOMAR Aiioelaled Fmi SUlf WrIUr WASHINGTON () The State Department Thursday banned American travel in five Iron Cur tain countries without specific permission. In three outer coun tries, no travel at all will be per mitted. A department announcement called attention to "the dangers of traveling in countries where ac ceptable standards of protection do not prevail." Travel was banned altogether in China, Hungary and Czechoslova kia in a continuation of previous department rulings. The five countries added to the restricted travel list are Russia, Poland, Romania, Albania and Bulgaria. The department said it will al low trips to those countries only for "legitimate reasons." All new passports will be stamped as "not valid for travel" in the eight countries "unless spe cifically indorsed under authority of the Department of State." Passports now outstanding will be stamped in the same way when they are turned in by holders or otherwise submitted to depart ment officials. Officials said the new restric tions had been under considera tion for a long time. Authorities said privately there are two basic reasons for the re strictions: 1. To precvent "sneak visits." 2. To protect venturesome Americans who might hot realize the risk of visit to Iron Curtain countries. Streams starting on Triple Di vide Peak, 8,000-foot mountain in Montana, flow into three oceans, the Arctic, Pacific and Atlantic. Commies Call Truce Meeting U.N.
